Improved cell coverage?

Beginning of the game my US Cellular service was horrible. Somewhere in late 1st half it improved and after that it was the best I can ever remember. Never tried streaming but twitter worked normal and I could easily look up game scores.
You could say that about literally every expense at the stadium.
US Cell here. Really struggled to look up scores on ESPN app. I should have tried Twitter .
Verizon data was non-existent after 11, but texting without images worked fine for me talking to my son in the student section I'm a business customer though so they supposedly prioritize my line.
It's a definite fan amenity issue, but I don't see how it isn't considered a liability issue.
I have Verizon and just switched to a business account which is supposed to give me "priority data access". After yesterday I would say that is false.
Yep, another vote for improved cell coverage meaning absolute jack sh*t. I was able to stream music and video in the lots until about 11am, but couldn’t check a score or even get a single text message in or out until leaving the stadium after the game.
The tweet your seat promotions on the video boards in the second half were just trolling us at that point.

Verizon was the worst I've ever experienced it. Usually I could at least text and occasionally get Twitter to load but I couldn't even get a text to go through in the stadium.
I’m a business customer and my texts took about 4-5 minutes to go through. I text my kid next to me to check and that is how long it took him to get it. He’s on my business plan. Others were delayed because NW texted me that we lost our shutout, I got it after the field goal. Had to smart remark back to him anyhow. Which he probably got sometime during halftime.
No data at all though. Son is 5G and he lost everything midway through the 1st with data.
We are Verizon. I didn’t attempt anything but husband spent entire game looking at other scores and reading me stats from the freaking Hawk game, like game has 21 punts and 16 first downs. Put down the phone and watch game you are at. I found it annoying so talked about game with the 11 year old who sits by us.
Edit: I did receive and send one text with ease. One son wanted my Mac n Cheese recipe for a work potluck. At least he had the sense to ask 20 minutes before kickoff.
Also wonder if husband was enabled by fact we sit top row of stadium.

Somehow we used to live without these phones. I hope the wifi never improves around the Jack. Watch the game...not your phone.
I disagree with that. Some of the changes have lead to revenue collection. It's only 7 Saturdays each year but it's spend money to make money. There is zero return on a WiFi project.
